I’m a Event Rider and Horse Trainer based in Rangiora, North Canterbury NZ.

I’ve have many years of experience behind me, over the years I have competed in a range of disciplines. I currently hold my H certificate through New Zealand Pony Club Association, with working towards my A Certificate. I am also able to work with horse and rider on the ground, focusing on creating a bond in their partnership. As part of my work I also specialize in retraining off the track Thorou

ghbreds and off the track Standardbreds. I am one of the Equine Educators for the Hero Program which is run by Harness Racing New Zealand

Well the end of 2024 has taken a turn for me
As some people may know, on Friday I had a horse related accident.
I was leading one of my horses and he got a fright and as far as we can work out, the horse took me out with his head.
I’ve come away the multiple fractures in my face and I’ve had my lips stitched up as well as missing multiple teeth.

It’s going to be a long road of recovery with surgery on the cards to fix my fractures. I hope to be back doing what I love with the horses once I’m able.

This will mean I won’t be taking on any horses in the near future.
I do still have to lovely horses looking for their new home, Kennedy and Benny. Connor will be keeping these 2 in work for me.

Couldn’t get through it without my amazing husband Connor Dunmill and my Mum and other close family and friends.

Bay Gelding
Standardbred Pacer
Sire- American Ideal
Dam- Achy Breaky Heart

Kennedy is looking for his new home and person. He is a great happy hacker type and is generally a very sweet boy to have around. He loves to have a bond with his person.

Kennedy has basic flatwork established, he is happy to walk, pace/trot and has tried a canter. Kennedy is working on his trotting, at this stage he is most balanced at a pace.
Kennedy loves to give obstacles and poles a go. He will happily do trotting poles and walk up and down the bank jump and stand on the tires.

Kennedy loves to go out hacking and road riding. He has been out on his own, with company and been led off others. He is good with traffic.

Kennedy is great to handle, for farrier and float.

Kennedy is a great horse to have around and is suited to a calm, confident rider. He is happiest out hacking and plodding around. He is a sensitive horse who likes to take things in his stride.

There are more photos and videos in his album.

Kennedy showing off his skills

He is happiest out hacking and adventuring. He’s been in the creek and walking through the gully with no issues. Obstacles and banks are no issue.

The thing he struggles with the most is trotting, he is happiest pacing and he will try to trot in the arena with poles. This will come over time, just needs to get used to trotting and having a rider on his back.

Luna is looking for a new home where she can carry on her education to become a ridden horse.

In the past year, she has had basic handling with floating and farrier etc. She has been paddocked with others and alone. She is good to drench.

Dam- Supreme Estella

Faith is looking out for her person. She came to me to start her career as a ridden horse. She hasn’t raced and hasn’t been broken into harness.

Faith has basic flatwork established. She has done small amounts of canter work and has a lovely canter.
Faith has walked over poles and small logs without a worry.

Faith has been out down the road and to the river. She is great with all sorts of traffic. She has been out with other horses and was happy to follow and lead the way.
Faith loves water and is definitely a fan of river rides, she couldn’t care less about other horses playing around her.

Faith is good to handle, for farrier, drench and float. Faith is up to date with dentals and worming.

Faith is green and still has things to learn, she tries very hard to please and is a quick learner. She is quiet and takes new things in her stride.

John is very willing to try. He has a big trot and is happy to work with a contact. He will happily walk, trot and try a canter in the arena.
John was happy to try a wee jump, let’s just say he’ll give it a go but might not be the next Olympic horse.
